Herr Hitler was right about one thing.

[the-e-dealer]

I saw the crowds for the Olympic Flame lining the streets last week. They loved it. Its one policy that he got right!

Pity everything else was so evil.

[JT76]

What a weird thing to say

[the-e-dealer]

Sorry wrong place.

Hitler introduced the Flame. Its a good idea.

[red devil]

Sod the flame, we want the trains to run on time, where's a demonic despot when you need one eh?..

[the-e-dealer]

I thought that was Mussolini? Maybe we need a Fascist Management Committee,

[RosieH]

Wait, Hitler had a son???

Has Yesterday been told?

Is he in hiding, biding his time til he stakes his claim for world domination? But organising flames on the side?

[the-e-dealer]

No the Nazi regime introduced Running about with the flame in 1927.

Yeah, if you are going to post something with Hitler in the title at least get the spelling of the word preceding it correct.

Ta!

[Jah Lush]

Herr Hitler, not Her or Heir. Anyway, crap thread. Move along now, nothing to see here.

[the-e-dealer]

Cheers!

I often wonder how old t.e.d is ?

(so i can accommodate and/or make allowances)

[civilservant]

I believe they lined the streets on Kristallnacht and in Nuremberg too

[bsand]

Motorways and the Volkswagen Beetle as well - what did Hitler ever do for us..

[RosieH]

Well, without him, there would be no "Hitler's Bodyguard", and Yesterday would go out of business.

[Townleygreen]

the e-dealer stated

"No the Nazi regime introduced Running about with the flame in 1927."

Not sure how - the Nazis didn't come into power until 1933, and the Olympics (by the way) were in 1936.

Great opening ceremony and not a corporate brand in sight - priceless - I like the crisp uniforms and gait of Team GB ....

Not forgetting, there'd be no Godwin's Law either

What would we fill all those cable TV channels with, if there were no Hitler documentaries?

[Annette Curtain]

Or a duck carrying a swastika decorated drum

Now where would we be without Adolph ?

[El Pibe]

Motorways, Beetles and errr pictures of dogs

I wonder if a dictator would not only have made the trains run but made forums worth reading.

Slim pickings these days.......

Ahem, Jeremy. Two posts above yours..?

[the-e-dealer]

So he agrees with you. Wish someone would agree with me! :(

Ah, OK! Sorry, the "Hitler's Bodyguard" reference didn't ring any bells, and I didn't realise that "Yesterday" was The Yesterday Channel. I guess I don't watch a lot of TV...

[RosieH]

Yeah, I find that whenever I'm ill, and have soup on the sofa and think a bit of Yesterday would be just the ticket (there's always some 6-hour Catherine Cookson thing on with Catherine Zeta Jones and people you recognise from award-winning, critically-acclaimed BBC dramas), I find that in fact, there IS no Catherine Cookson.

Only Hitler's Bodyguard on an endless bloody loop. I swear they must play it at least twice a day. (stil haven't watched it though)
